Yes, you can use acrylics just like watercolors. I don't paint a whole lot with acrylics, because I find my acrylic paintings tend to look just like my watercolors. Nothing against acrylics, but I really like watercolors. I do like to use acrylics on non-traditional painting surfaces like flat rocks (see attached photo).

Thank you for the compliment too! 😊

I paint on rocks and stones as well, have just added a few more to my gallery if you are interested (click on my name and then gallery), most of them are around and inch, inch and a half in size. The little houses are very small and painted on each side. Maybe I should list the ones I have left.__________________
